Is commuting tough? You betcha. Can it make you want to scream? Yes. Is Clever Commute the place to release unfiltered quips and snarks? Sorry…no. Let me explain:

Sure, we’re all adults here. But Clever Commute is designed to be a focused, purpose-centric network where people share actionable, real-time info about the in-process commute.

To that end, our proprietary software scans each message for unsuitable content. “Unsuitable content” includes (but is not limited to) profanity, questions, insults, sarcasm. So here is what happens:

Message which are 100% venting / complaining about the commute will not be sent out to the commuting community. (If you want to see those messages, then check out @CleverVent on Twitter) .

However, it’s sometimes the case that a message contains both content which is helpful…and other content which is not helpful. Our technology will also hold those messages for review. More often than not, they go stale before one of our moderators can override the hold…and the message never sees the light of day.Please look at the examples below and appreciate that there is virtually no technology which could differentiate between the two types of examples there. All of these messages below were held.

Therefore, in order to be as helpful as possible, please only send info which is constructive and actionable. (FYI – our best practices)

Examples: These messages are simply venting…as they have virtually zero actionable information. Clever Commute will not release messages such as these
